Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
The more difficulties one has to encounter, within and without, the more significant and the higher in inspiration their life will be. — Horace Bushnell
Our Higher Power is always with us, through the joyful and the fearful times. We often don’t remember to think of God though, except when we’re troubled. Then our feelings of terror and hopelessness push us to seek help from God, and with this help comes renewed strength and faith that our life is cared for by a greater power than ourselves.
It seems we shouldn’t need difficulties to remind us that we can always rely on God, but it’s easy to be complacent when times are good. We can choose to expand and strengthen our relationship with God anytime. Through prayer, meditation, and a conscious attempt to feel God’s presence in all situations, we’ll come to know and trust God more fully.
Today I will not wait for a troubling moment to think of God. I’ll feel God’s presence now!
